AUGUST 2008 CALENDAR

AUGUST 12 – 8:00 pmBeautiful Losers
DIRECTOR Aaron Rose and Joshua Leonard
(Los Angeles Premiere)
——————————————
Beautiful Losers celebrates the spirit behind one of the most influential cultural movements of a generation. In the early 1990s a loose-knit group of likeminded outsiders found common ground at a little NYC gallery. Rooted in do-it-yourself subcultures of skateboarding, surf, punk, hip hop and graffiti, they made art that reflected lifestyles they led.

Filmmaker Aaron Rose will lead a Q&A with artists Mike Mills and Ed Templeton. A post-screening reception will feature a live performance by Money Mark, who scored the film, plus special guest DJ Squeak E. Clean.

AUGUST 19 – 8:00 pm Tokyo Olympiad DIRECTOR Kon Ichikawa
——————————————
A spectacle of magnificent proportions, the late Kon Ichikawa’s Tokyo Olympiad ranks among the greatest documentation of sports ever committed to film. Utilizing glorious widescreen cinematography, Ichikawa examines the beauty and rich drama on display of the 1964 Summer Games in Tokyo, creating a catalogue of extraordinary observations that range from the expansive to the intimate.
